splines are never on elevation 0 or z value 0

Hello all,

I am preparing my file for laser cutting and the pink line in the image is the reference line on elevation z: 0.

Splines of the topography (the reddish one) are never on 0 level no matter what I try.

Editspline, editpolylines, SPE, Rebuild, drawing them again, exploding them, joining them, and even point by point control Points in the properties panel.

When I put 0, it is still not 0 in the drawing.

I tried to copy them to another file but still not helping.

They should stay splines at the end.

Any help?

Have you tried command FLATTEN?

Yes I did, I forgot this one to mention.

I think it is lost between all these different commands and smth maybe graphically happening.

Can you upload an example dwg file?

here is the file that did not work

For whom ever will need this, I moved the drawing again to a new file and it worked after changing each control points Elevation to 0 so I had to explode them first, turn them into polylines and then again SPE to be splines!

I am sure there is much better way though!

I am checking your topography lines and all Z values are 0. Rather than using Properties dialog box i am using List command. Maybe im not understanding the problem correctly ? But is says everything is Planar Z = 0,000

It would be more helpful to post the drawing with the problem rather than one where you have solved it.
